April Showers bring May....Babies?

Hello, all!

I thought I would hop on and post about my very first baby shower this past weekend (which, technically speaking, was held in March, not April...but I made my own rules when it came to the title of this post). My lovely sister Laura (with help from my dear friend Amanda) hosted the shower for me, and it was PERFECT!

Here is a bit of the decor....

We had great food (props to my sis for cutting tiny sandwiches into the shape of little ducks), which included a darling cake and a fabulous rubber-duckie punch....


The ladies planned a handful of games, which everyone really seemed to enjoy (although I, for one, had a difficult time with the blindfolded baby food tasting. Let me just say....Gerber's mac-n-cheese is NOT tasty.). Tanya came the closest to measuring my belly diameter, but apparently everyone else thought I was much larger. Hmmm..... ; )

Here are the rest of the party-goers:

Alison, Tara and Deb

Tanya, Kristina and Colleen (w/ baby Micah on her lap)


One of the activities that Laura and Amanda had prepared was for everyone to decorate a little onesie for our Sprout.....and I have to say, no baby has ever had a finer wardrobe:

(Our designs, going clockwise starting with "Team Wiberg" on the far left: Kristina, Laura, me, Amanda, Colleen, Tara, Alison, Deb, and Tanya. )


Everyone was also SO generous, showering our wee baby-to-be with amazing gifts:

(The perfect bouncy seat, from Laura and family!)


(a onesie, burp cloth, and booties, handmade by Amanda, along with an adorable book and rubber duckie)


(A basketful of adorable baby gear from Deb, Kristina, Tanya, Colleen and Marge)

(a sampling of all of the wonderful items from Tara)

(adorable onesies and booties from Alison)


All in all, it was a wonderful shower.....and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing sister, and so many great friends. Thanks again to everyone......we appreciate your kindness and generosity so much, and Sprout is going to be stylin' in his new threads! : )

Love,

Jeff, Farrah & Sprout
